Homemade christmas...

Now that Christmas is over for another year, I can show you the couple of christmas presents that I made for the Mr...

I'm well chuffed with how they turned out and he was very happy with them too so, go me!

Making daisy chains...

Traditionally something more likely to be done in the summer, making daisy chains is something that I did when I was little and still happily sit and do on sunny days.

Another use for the daisy when I was little at least, was to find out if my young love would last, "He loves me, he loves me not..." I don't know why it's only daisies that have been used to reveal this information, if you know, please tell me. This cushion combines both these daisy traditions...

I'm super proud of how this turned out as it took me an age to embroider each petal, but to me, it's definitely worth it.

Paris, I Love You xx

Everybody has somewhere that they love, and or me Paris is that place. This may seem a bit strange seeing as I have only spent two weeks there in my entire 24 years, but there's just something about Paris that captured my heart. And that is pretty much the reasoning behind this cushion.

And here's a little close up of the writing... Roughly translated it means "I love you forever and ever."

A beautiful new discovery for me

When I'm not making things myself, I love looking at the beautiful creations other people have come up with. One site I have stumbled upon is countrybumpkinsgifts.co.uk. I would love to buy some...ok most, of the cute little home accessories on this site.

But my absolute favourite little piece on this site has to be this...

The adorable sign just makes me smile and I really really really want it. Maybe if Santa doesn't bring it to me for christmas, I will treat myself...or there's always my birthday :-)
